Cambodians Invite Me to Their Home When I Speak Their Language

I am Cambodian from Lowell, MA. Thank you for exposing our culture to the world. Your Khmer was very good.

I love how widespread Xiaoma is, where ever he goes he's bound to meet a fan

I love when he didnt understand a word, they were patient and taught him the word. I just love this so much.

Cambodians are so amazing, can't wait to visit their beautiful country and culture! Greetings from Italy!

I had an UberEats delivery person during the pandemic* that had Khmer on his profile as his first language. I wrote a thank you on a card in Khmer, using the power of internet, and left it outside for him. I’m sure it looked like a little kid’s handwriting since I’d never written in that script before, but it apparently made him happy enough that he messaged me to say thank you for using his language. It was a nice one off exchange between strangers that I’ll remember, despite not being too significant in the grand scheme of things. *edited

This dude does the hardest part so often, mad props. It’s SO hard to even TRY to speak to someone once when learning a new language

As a Cambodian, you talk like baby. Lol my uncle was white and when he tried to speak khmer, my other uncle laughed at him and said that he talks like a toddler. This reminded me of that. I miss you uncle Ryan. RIP.

As a cambodian it was hilarious listening to his broken khmer XD, it's clear but the pronounciation is sometimes wrong although it's quite easy to understand what he's saying, would love to meet you since I've seen many foreigners around lately

Cambodians are the nicest people we have met on our travels. Super friendly people and we can't wait to go back and visit the locals we met while there!

3:24 I love this scene It's like you are feeding Xiaoma with you own hands

I had some Cambodian friends when I was younger and I will never forget their faces. They were so kind to me it was beyond belief.

I live in Tewksbury, Ma , the next town over from Lowell and know tons of Cambodians. I met them all playing cornhole and they are some of the nicest and most genuine people ever. So proud of their heritage and generous in every way. I've tried lots of delicious food and shared many laughs and drinks with some amazing Cambodians. Most of my Khmer friends are ruthless competitors and will gamble on anything. Nothing but love

When she invited you to her home in Cambodia that was so wholesome 😂❤️

I love how they were all patient when you were searching for a word or phrase that you weren't too familiar with and then praised you for how well you spoke in general. A great example of building someone's confidence and you could see the pride they had for you taking the time to both learn and practice their language. Plus there's something about those little shops of various cultures that are just amazing. As someone who doesn't speak/read other languages I find it fun to go in and randomly get something based on packaging or recommendation because you have no idea what it could be, but it may very well be your new favorite thing.

The "ចង់ទៅ ទិញសំបុត្រយន្តហោះទៅៗ" had me dying here 😂😂😂

YESS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!!!

People: wow how long have you been speaking "our" language you speak it so well. Xiaoma: I just learned it 5 minutes ago. 😂😂

Omg I have been WAAAAAITING for you to learn Khmer but I didn’t want to mass-comment your videos, I wanted to see you genuinely get to it. Your conversation is pretty good! Especially for just starting with the language. The Khmer pronunciation can be tough to get (I’ve been Khmer for almost 40 years and I still struggle with it, my elders ask me to speak English to them instead because of my bad accent😂), so shout-out to you Xiaoma!🇰🇭

I am from Lowell. We have a great diverse community. Thanks for visiting.

I cannot express to you enough how happy your content makes me! I'm always left with a big grin on my face after watching your interactions. You really do spread a lot of positivity to the world. Thank you for exposing me to so much more culture than I ever would have been able to know about from my little town in Ontario. Keep doing what you do best - you really are making a significant positive difference in this world!
